Due to Google’s guidelines, you probably couldn’t split test them on the same site though.

Dennis, it is a direct competitor to Adsense, so it is very much like Adsense. But in my opinion, the ability to style it, is its biggest difference.

Except for the ability to style it a bit, how is it any different then adsense?

Oh, good point, Melody. I suppose I should have clarified however that these are just text ads. So, they don’t start out with any kind of styling at all. The advertisers would be fully aware that they can be styled by the publishers, I’m sure. But the advertisers are only submitting text, not design.

This is really interesting, what I wonder though is, you think it matters to the owner of the ad that the website owner can slightly alter the appearance of their ad?

Even though they are still simple ads, would you want someone to be able to edit your ad to their preferences?

If this keeps up, we might be looking at advertising on a whole new level. Interesting though..

I think that is awesome. Can you imagine where advertising on the internet will be by this time next year!

Great blog by the way, I just found it now!

I didn’t include income comparisons because I personally didn’t compare them. In other words, I wasn’t running any kind of A/B testing on the same sites/pages so there was no real way to determine if one was better than another. Plus, there are soooo many variables involved, that everyone’s mileage would likely be much different.

How about income comparisons? Alternatives to Adsense would be nice, but finding something that even comes close to Adsense revenue is very difficult.
